QUESTION – Which is better, a high or a low deductible?
That’s how most people see and select health insurance. But what if we asked if you prefer a LOW premium or a HIGH premium, then which would you pick?
You should know that it’s not a simple either-or scenario. A LOW deductible generally accompanies a HIGH monthly premium. And a HIGH deductible generally offsets a LOW monthly premium. So, now which would you prefer? Health insurance with a HIGH deductible and a LOW premium, or the opposite—a plan with a LOW deductible and a HIGH premium?
The answer is like many things ..read more

The cost of healthcare is continually rising. In fact, U.S. healthcare spending is estimated to hit $6.2 trillion by 2028. Want to know a secret? It doesn’t have to be this way. You’re probably overspending on healthcare and Start has the solution.

With winter creeping up on us, it means shorter daylight time and colder temperatures. For many people, it will also be a time of the year when their physical activity efforts dip. People often reduce the amount of time they spend being physically active over the winter, usually due in part to it being so cold outside. Add to that the lack of motivation that people have during the darker, colder months, and it’s a recipe for disaster. The good news is that there are things people can do to help stay motivated to keep moving all winter long.

Ah, the festive weight of the holiday season. Typically, the holidays leave a few lingering reminders. Combine Halloween candy with that Thanksgiving dinner and those Christmas cookies, then wash it all down with festive New Year’s celebrations and you have the recipe for a healthy holiday treat left delectably around the mid-section. The ‘bottom-line’ of an appetite-indulged holiday season is a city analogous to T.S. Elliot’s waist-land – at least in terms of health.
Okay, enough sophomoric dieting euphemism, but the official confirmation is that ..read more

It’s the time of year so many people dread. Just when the last of the Halloween candy is either consumed or discarded; BAM! Thanksgiving. And the sugar binge begins anew.
The holiday season is a three-month junk food marathon, but Thanksgiving is the foremost culprit. Why? The entire holiday is based around a meal! Sure, we drive (or fly) for hours to visit family and friends, but what do we do when we get there? Eat. We eat like it’s our job.
Before you start dreaming about the pumpkin pie and stuffing, consider this: On average, Americans tend to gain weight over the holidays every year, and ..read more
